    Health in Wealth® Ep 28 - Stop Waiting Until You Feel Ready with Scout Cheeks

    How many times have you told yourself, "I'll do it when I feel ready"? Whether it's a new role, a bold decision, a career move, or stepping into greater visibility, many of us wait for confidence, certainty, and perfect timing before we take action. But what if readiness isn't something that comes before the move? What if it comes because of it? In this episode of Health in Wealth®, Ana Ramos sits down with Scout Cheeks—elite rugby player, academic achiever, and purpose-driven professional—to explore what it means to move forward when life feels uncertain. Fresh from competing with the New York Exiles in their inaugural season, Scout shares her experience of balancing elite sport, career ambition, service, and personal growth while navigating new levels of responsibility and visibility. Together, Ana and Scout unpack:• Why fear often disguises itself as logic• The hidden cost of waiting for the "perfect" moment• How to recognise when an opportunity is calling you forward• The relationship between intuition, timing, and courage• What it means to take action before you feel fully ready This isn't a conversation about having all the answers. It's about trusting yourself enough to take the next step, even when the path ahead isn't completely clear. If you've been standing at the edge of a decision, waiting for confidence to arrive, this episode may be the nudge you've been looking for.

    Health in Wealth® Ep 27 - The Masks we wear to Survive with Jane Stevenson

    Hello, and welcome back to Health in Wealth®. I’m Ana Ramos… and I’m really glad you’re here. Let me start with a question we don’t ask ourselves often enough: Do we ever really know what’s going on in someone else’s life? We’re quick to judge. Quick to compare. Quick to assume everyone else is “fine.” And maybe that’s because most of us wear “fine” incredibly well. We show up. We perform. We lead. We smile. All while carrying things that never make it into conversation. There’s a version of you that the world sees. And then there’s the version of you that’s just trying to get through the day. What makes this harder is that so much of what we see—especially online—is an illusion. Carefully curated moments that rarely reflect the full truth of someone’s life, their health, their fear, or their exhaustion. My guest today, Jane Stevenson, knows this firsthand. Jane is a strategist, mentor, and leader with decades of experience—and she’s also someone who lived through something most people never knew. Six months before she walked a two-kilometer hike, Jane was told she might never walk again. What followed wasn’t just a physical recovery. It was a reckoning with the masks she wore to survive: Bravery to hide fear. Happiness to hide sadness. Strength to hide vulnerability. Energy to hide exhaustion. This conversation isn’t about taking the masks off before we’re ready. It’s about understanding why we wear them, what they protect, and what they quietly teach us about ourselves and others. If you’ve ever looked at someone else’s life and thought, They’re fine —Or if you’ve ever said I’m fine when you weren’t— This conversation is for you. So take a breath. Settle in. And let’s talk about the masks we wear

    Health in Wealth® Ep 25 - Why Your Home Affects How You Feel | Neuroarchitecture, Stress + Nervous System Regulation

    Have you ever walked into a space and felt your body instantly soften, or tense, without fully knowing why?  In this episode of Health in Wealth®, Ana Ramos speaks with Sarah Morrissey, founder of Cocoon Mode, about neuroarchitecture, the study of how our spaces shape the brain, body, nervous system, emotions, behavior, and cognition.  Together, Ana and Sarah explore how the home affects stress, sleep, focus, mood, and nervous system regulation. This is a conversation about moving beyond design trends and asking a more human question: how does this space support the person living inside it?  Sarah shares the four pillars of neuroarchitecture, why the home has become such an important part of modern well-being, and how simple routines such as creating an arrival ritual or winding down before bed can help the nervous system feel safer and more supported.  At its heart, this episode is an invitation to see the home as part of wealth being. A space that supports health, presence, recovery, clarity, and the rhythm of a more aligned life.  In This Episode  What neuroarchitecture means and why it matters for modern well-being  How your home affects stress, sleep, focus, mood, and nervous system regulation  Why post-pandemic living changed the role of the home  The difference between a beautiful home and a home that supports the body  How lighting, clutter, sound, layout, and sensory input affect emotional regulation  Why a calming home does not need to be perfect or expensive  Simple nervous system practices for arriving home and winding down at night  Timestamps  00:00 Introduction: How our homes shape well-being 01:31 Welcome Sarah Morrissey to Health in Wealth® 02:42 Why the home affects sleep, mood, eating, stress, and the nervous system 04:16 What is neuroarchitecture? 05:42 From aesthetics to performance: How spaces support the body 07:19 Personal preference, minimalism, clutter, and nervous system response 08:47 Designing the home as a sanctuary 10:28 Ana’s personal story of creating a calming home 11:17 Why we should not have to leave home to feel restored 13:51 Creating one space for nervous system regulation 14:18 The four pillars of neuroarchitecture 16:46 Why your home does not need to be Instagram-ready 17:32 Structure, routine, and the organized mind 18:41 Why sanctuary is about nervous system response, not perfection 21:39 The home as the core of nervous system safety 23:17 Sarah’s story and the meaning behind Cocoon Mode 25:27 Sarah’s study of psychology, neuroscience, and design 27:04 Why neuroarchitecture belongs in everyday homes 29:11 Biohacks for calming the nervous system at home 30:12 The first 15 to 20 minutes after arriving home 30:55 Evening wind-down routines and sleep quality 34:19 Why design alone is not enough without behavior change 36:16 Final reflections with Sarah Morrissey 37:18 Closing reflection: The nervous system as the real client of design  About Health in Wealth®  Health in Wealth® is a podcast from Amida Wealth Advisors, hosted by Ana Ramos.  At Amida, we believe wealth is more than financial performance. It is the harmony of five essential pillars: health, relationships, finances, career, and personal growth.  Through thoughtful conversations with guides, practitioners, founders, and leaders, Health in Wealth® explores what it means to live with greater alignment, presence, and wealth being.  CTA  If this conversation helped you think differently about your home, your nervous system, or the spaces that support your life, we invite you to share it with someone who may need the same gentle reminder.  Subscribe to Health in Wealth® for more conversations on identity, alignment, well-being, and a more human vision of wealth.

    Health in Wealth® Ep 24 - The Structure of Freedom with Patricia Ramirez

    Hello, and welcome back to Health in Wealth®. I am Ana Ramos, and I am really glad you are here. Today’s conversation is for anyone who has felt the pull toward freedom and then found themselves standing in the unfamiliar space that follows. We talk a lot about leaving environments that no longer fit. Leaving the corporate path. Leaving predictability. Leaving identities that once made sense. What we talk about less is what happens afterward. The moment when freedom feels expansive and unsettling at the same time. When certainty falls away before anything new has taken its place. My guest today, Patricia Ramirez, is living inside that moment. She spent years building a successful career inside large institutions — law, finance, and global corporations — and then made the decision to step away. Not because she failed. But because the framework she was living inside no longer aligned. What followed was not clarity or relief. It was uncertainty. Financial questions. A shift in relationships. A loss of external validation. And the necessity of rebuilding rhythm, confidence, and identity in real time. What makes this conversation honest is that Patricia does not speak from resolution. She speaks from experience. From the middle. From a place where freedom still requires courage, structure, and daily choice. This episode is about what it means to leave the box, and what it actually takes to build a life that can hold that freedom. So take a breath. Settle in. And let us talk about the structure of freedom.

    Health in Wealth® Ep 23 - The Architecture of Success with Nelly Pineda

    Hello, and welcome back to Health in Wealth®. I am Ana Ramos… and I am really glad you are here. Today, I want to begin with a question we rarely slow down enough to ask. What does success actually require over time? Not the day you arrive. Not the moment something goes right. But the years in between. So much of what we are taught about success today focuses on the outcome. Visualize it. Manifest it. Push harder. But what is often missing from that conversation is the structure that has to exist underneath: The mindset that sustains effort. The discipline that does not come from punishment. And the relationship with the body that makes long-term success possible at all. That is why I find myself returning, again and again, to athletes. Not because they win But because they understand process. Athletes understand something deeply human: That growth involves discomfort. That failure is information. And that success is something you build... patiently, deliberately, and in partnership with your body. My guest today, Nelly Pineda, has spent decades working with athletes at the highest levels. And what emerged in our conversation is that the qualities athletes develop — mindset, intentional goals, and disciplined consistency — are not exclusive to sport. They are a universal life blueprint. They shape how we lead… How we work… How we relate to money… How we care for our health… And how we define success without abandoning ourselves along the way. This conversation is not about becoming an athlete. It is about learning what athletes can teach us about building a life that is strong enough to hold us. So… take a breath. Settle in. And let us explore the architecture of success together

    Health in Wealth® Ep 22 - Reconnection in a Disconnected World | Nature, Play, and Finding Your Way Back with Mickey Tennis

    Hello, and welcome back to Health in Wealth®. I’m Ana Ramos. Have you ever felt like life is moving so fast… that you don’t quite feel like yourself inside of it anymore? Not because anything is necessarily wrong. But because everything feels constant. The noise. The pace. The pressure to keep going. Today’s conversation is about that feeling and where it may actually be coming from. Today we explore what it means to live in a world that is always “on”… and what happens to us, both mentally and physically, when we lose connection to something much more natural, much more grounding. Because many of us don’t realize that the way we feel - overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected - is not just about how much we’re doing. It’s about what we’re no longer connected to. We explore how that connection begins early in life. How our experiences as children - our exposure to nature, to play, to curiosity - shape not only how we see the world, but how we regulate ourselves within it. And we also explore something deeply important… how to find your way back. Back to presence. Back to simplicity. Back to the small moments that bring you into yourself again. Because sometimes, what we call burnout… is actually disconnection. And the path forward may not be about doing more, but about reconnecting to what we’ve quietly moved away from. So, take a breath. Settle in. Let us begin.

    Health in Wealth® Ep 21 - Moving Beyond Kilometer 32 | The Moment That Stretches You To The Max with Norma Coker

    What happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels sustainable?  In this episode of Health in Wealth®, Ana Ramos sits down with entrepreneur and athlete Norma Coker to explore a moment many experience but struggle to name.  A moment where the pace becomes heavy. Where clarity feels distant. And where something within you is asking to shift.  Together, they explore the intersection of sport, business, and identity. From early discipline shaped through swimming, to building a business from instinct, to facing uncertainty in the age of AI, this conversation offers an honest look at resilience in motion.  At the heart of it is a powerful metaphor: “mile 32” — the point where you can either stop… or take one more step.  This is not a conversation about having answers. It is about learning how to keep moving when you don’t.    Timestamps  00:00 Introduction: When life begins to feel heavy 01:29 Meeting Norma: athlete, entrepreneur, creator 02:42 Growing up in sport and early discipline 05:16 Struggling with focus in a distracted world 08:07 Letting go of Olympic dreams 11:08 Starting a business without a roadmap 12:45 Walking away from sport at 16 14:58 Returning to sport at 30 17:05 Rebuilding structure through triathlon 18:04 Building a business from necessity 21:25 When everything shifts: partnership, relocation, AI 25:21 The “mile 32” moment explained 26:52 One step at a time: navigating uncertainty 29:18 “This too shall pass” — anchors in difficult moments 31:03 Biohacks for resilience (mental + physical) 33:00 Beetroot, performance, and recovery 35:12 Redefining wealth beyond money 36:58 Our relationship with money and well-being 38:19 Closing reflections and invitation    Key Themes  Resilience and identity through change  The intersection of sport and business  Navigating uncertainty in the age of AI  Discipline, structure, and self-trust  Wealth as well-being, not just money  The power of mental anchors in difficult moments    Call to Action  If this conversation stayed with you, consider sharing it with someone who may be navigating their own “mile 32” moment.  Subscribe for more conversations exploring the deeper connection between health, mindset, and wealth.
